Mind you, it says a lot about a candidate that they would put their own desire for power ahead of the will of the people (in this case, the party) and what's best for the people (in this case party unity).

Once his fate was written, he should have accepted it and left the two front runners to battle it out.

Also, he broke promises by staying in. He also made the decision without consulting his staff, as he was speaking. Nether broken promises, nor unconsulted "spur of the moment" decisions are things that make a great democratic leader.
